Austin Area TW Chapter (all gens welcome, even T4Rs; heck, just make it a Toyota and we're good)

I mean if you're in that big of a pinch i'm no professional but i'll do dirty work for some side cash if you need, not doing anything else while i'm down here except applying for Stanford and Rice

 

Anyone wonna go wheelin' over the break? Maybe in January when Christmas season dies down a bit. HF or something else works

 

I'm in a pinch, yeah. Buyer closes Thursday. We sign off on Wednesday.

Anyone can clean, the pros just do it faster, more efficiently. If you want to make some cash, and don't mind spending your day spraying and wiping, shoot me a message.

 

Let me add...the house isn't trashed with shit everywhere. Just needs a cleaning. Bathrooms cleaned (toilets, tubs), baseboards wiped, windows and mirrors cleaned, wipe down counters, etc

 

Rattlecan. I picked up some Rustoleum Hammer finish and going to try that out. Powdercoat quote was $350, no thanks.

I knew these things were heavy, but I didn't really grasp it until I pulled them off the pallet. My plans for installing with a floor jack holding it up seem a lot less likely now. There's no good central point to lift from, they're oddly weighted.

 

Yes. I'd rather have my sliders installed in time, but either way I'm still in.

 

You'll need a third hand to put em on.

 

Hey y'all, can we get everyone to go vote Chad for member of the year?

Get the Handy app. That's what I use. Easymode to get someone in there.

 

A few friends in Austin(I'm from down south) and I are doing HF dec 29th then wolf caves 30th and/or 31st

 

Something like this is probably your best bet, but if it doesn't work out just let me know @-dustin
We're having a German exchange student stay with us so my family is wanting to do things randomly, wasn't sure how long the cleaning would take

 

Might be in for Wolf Caves, all depends on if I can get another winch in and working by then

 

You get ur diff straightened out. I remember u broke cv or was it spider gears?

 

Been through two CVs and a set of spider gears. I ended up flushing the front diff for the first time after the Aussie was put in and got a bunch of metal flakes out, so we'll see if it still bangs around. I think (key word think) I got the power steering fixed as well thanks to Heart of Texas. All I need now is a new winch and some brackets made for my external reservoirs (and my underglow fixed, but hoping I can guilt @Toyboata into doing it while I help overhaul his truck into badassery level because I hate wiring) and should be good to go.

Edit: If you're talking about me getting towed, a caliper bolt came lose. I took off the driver's side caliper on the side of the road with a hi lift and emergency tools to find nothing wrong, but I think the passenger side was binding up, my Aussie was kicking in and it caused everything in the front to just get dicked at once.

 

I've been using Thumbtack. It's been pretty awesome so far. Got my lawn guy from there, electrician, sink guy. House cleaning has been a bear, though. I was looking at my history last night, and 3 times I've looked for cleaners, and have yet to 'hire' anyone. I'll check out that Handy app. At this time, however, wifey and I are planning on knocking it out* tonight.

*not a metaphor.

 

My wife and I have totally caught the bug with Handy- we even got a smart lock so we can remotely unlock the house for them to clean when we're not there. It's awesome!

 

That's the reason I ended up paying a shop to do it. Tried it myself and they slid of the jacks twice and almost hit my head.......

120 bucks well spend.......

 

I have a buddy that works at 4 wheel parts that helped me out. The x-wings are heavy as hell and I got quite the workout holding them up!!

 

I was hoping to avoid that. Christmas has me pretty light in the wallet. I might just have to leave them off until I can do that though.
